I think that I had trouble scaling down my thinking from the grand to the petite. I'd like to use them for my wish to conduct a battle at numerous scales concurrently; grand tactical, tactical, (perhaps small-scale tactical) and skirmishJames Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-65941741847887159312014-02-09T14:46:12.379+08:002014-02-09T14:46:12.379+08:00Nice use of figures.

Has a bit of a look of a DBA game (only half joking :-) ) - think that it is a game as you commented.<br /><br />And whoa, just look at those labels!<br /><br />I would be interested to have a game of these rules (particularly as the publisher has taken on Napoleon's Battles and I live in fear of Spanglish) and also to compare them with Songs of Drums and Shakos.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-87879675827432876732014-02-06T00:13:56.391+08:002014-02-06T00:13:56.391+08:00I always love a good skirmish game.

For ...Yes Peter, it was another game using Capitán. For the second one we had the second edition of the rules, as I am referring to the commercial set. It was a fun game too, but no great historical insights, or even a particularly historical feel, despite the fact that I'd based it on a cavalry skirmish from 1812. More about it in the post to come later (which will be third or fourth in line of catch up posts!).<br />I'll have to see if I can find a combined arms one for our next outing with these.James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-41902151052655915792014-02-02T23:40:29.373+08:002014-02-02T23:40:29.373+08:00A change of rules and game scale is always fun to ...A change of rules and game scale is always fun to explore!
